Segmented art brush
Segmented art brush is an ability to define a non-stretchable portion at the ends of an art brush. From the Art brush’s
Brush Options dialog box, select the Stretch Between Guides option, and adjust the guides in the preview section of the
dialog box.
The art enclosed between the guides is the only portion of the brush that stretches or contracts to make the art brush
fit the path length.
